An aqua park charges $12 admission and $6 for a tour. A group of 10 people goes to the aquarium and takes the tour; while a group of 5 people only goes to the aquarium. How much does the aqua park earn? | A group of 10 people is charged $12 + $6 = $18 each.
So, 10 people pay $18 x 10 = $<<18*10=180>>180.
A group of 5 people pays $12 x 5 = $<<12*5=60>>60 for the admission.
Thus, the aqua park earns a total of $180 + $60 = $<<180+60=240>>240.

Darryl is an inventor who just designed a new machine. He had to pay $3600 for the parts to construct the machine, and $4500 for the patent he applied for once he built it. If the machine sells for $180, how many machines does Darryl need to sell to break even after the costs? | Darryl paid 3600 + 4500 = $<<3600+4500=8100>>8100 in costs for the parts and patent.
Thus, Darryl needs to sell 8100 / 180 = <<8100/180=45>>45 machines to break even.
